Abstract: Over the past years forensic and medical applications of technology first developed to record and transmit pictures from outer space have changed the way we see things here on earth, including Old English manuscripts. combined, an With their talents camera electronic The computer first converts the analogue image, in this case a videotape, to a digital image by dividing it into a microscopic grid and numbering each part by its relative brightness. Specific digital imageprograms can then radically improve the contrast, for example by stretching the range of brightness throughout the grid from black to white, emphasizing edges, and suppressing random background noise that comes from the equipment rather than the document. Applied to some of the most illegible passages in the Beowulf manuscript, this new technology indeed shows us some things we had not seen before and forces us to reconsider some established readings.

designed for use with documents and a digital computer can now frequently enhance the legibility of formerly obscure or even invisible texts.

Introduction to Digital Image Processing:

Vision perceive Computer vision image. Giving computers the ability to see is not an easy task - we live in a three dimensional (3D) world, and when computers try to analyze objects in 3D space, available visual sensors (e.g., TV cameras) usually give two dimensional (2D) images, and this projection to a lower number of dimensions incurs an enormous loss of information. allows and humans understand aims to the to

Usually very little knowledge about the content of images

High level processing is based on knowledge, goals, and plans of how to achieve those goals. Artificial intelligence (AI) methods are used in many cases. High-level computer vision tries to imitate human cognition and the ability to make decisions according to the information contained in the image.

Age processing is discussed in the course Image Analysis and Understanding, which is a continuation of this course.

In order to simplify the task of computer vision understanding, two levels are usually distinguished; low-level image processing and high level image understanding.

History:

Many of the techniques of digital image processing, or digital picture processing as it was often called, were developed in the 1960s at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, MIT, Bell Labs, University of Maryland, and few other places, with application to satellite imagery, conversion, wire photo medical standards imaging, In the 1970s, digital image processing proliferated, when cheaper computers Creating a film or electronic image of any picture or paper form. It is accomplished by scanning or photographing an object and turning it into a matrix of dots (bitmap), the meaning of which is unknown to the computer, only to the human viewer. Scanned images of text may be encoded into computer data (ASCII or EBCDIC) with page recognition software (OCR).

Pattern recognition is a field within the area of machine learning. Alternatively, it can be defined as "the act of taking in raw data and taking an action based on the category of the data" [1]. As such, it is a collection of methods for supervised learning. Pattern recognition aims to classify data (patterns) based on either a priori knowledge or on statistical information extracted from the patterns. The patterns to be classified are usually groups of measurements or observations, defining points in an appropriate

Crack edges ... four crack edges are attached to each pixel, which are defined by its relation to its 4-neighbors. The direction of the crack edge is that of increasing brightness, and is a multiple of 90 degrees, while its magnitude is the absolute difference between the brightness of the relevant pair of pixels.
